Acoustic Technology Laboratory
Picatinny Arsenal, NJ
This laboratory contains an electro-magnetic worldwide data collection and field measurement capability in the area of acoustic technology. Outfitted by NASA Langley with a multitude of acoustical data collection equipment and computers, this facility provides a clean, quiet, temperature-controlled and relatively dust free laboratory environment. The Army's signature library for threat systems is maintained in this facility. Digital computers provide the capability for quick-look analysis, data reduction and display. Meteorological data collection instrumentation provides data on atmospheric conditions such as wind speed and direction, barometric readings (pressure), and relative humidity.
Intelligent Sensor-Based Robotics Laboratory
Picatinny Arsenal, NJ
The ARDEC Automation and Robotics Laboratory has developed unique facilities and capabilities in the area of advanced sensor based robotics control systems, distributed and cooperating robotics systems, advanced crew station architectures and embedded decision aids, voice/natural language machine vision and impedance control techniques. The laboratory has implemented and demonstrated an intelligent sensor based robotics control system for two Puma 560 robots, instrumented with arm mounted cameras, force/torque sensors, range sensors, IR sensors and tactile sensors, which have the capability to cooperatively execute complex tasks communicated over a voice natural language interface.
